Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or CT6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September shoots near Beltinge lose the light at about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
